He measured Iris, the stairs, saw how Iris can get on a chair…then said “so, stairlifts”

Gah I saw 'stairlift' and thought "I've got one I'm trying to get removed/sold"...then I read on. Ah well

WOW just so impressed by how we all pulled together for this.

So so proud to be part of it.

Will we ever stop or lets just keep it going to see where it goes.

I think the right thing to do is to let it run for the last 5 days and anything extra in the pot over that time is hugely welcome. I am not formally raising the target as some people (including our lovely Anonymous friend) donated with the specific intention to reach the £8k target, which looked in doubt a few days ago. But - as stated - anything extra is a bonus and very welcome 🙂

While talking to Jen about the extra donations (she sends her love) - Iris climbed out of her adapted chair (she has one at home and one at school) and took it for a wander.

 

this is quite the development.

 

ignore the mess of the house and the state of us post work/school.

 

this really is a big deal - she has a walker, but it’s so big and heavy - she hates it…

 

 

Top girl!  What a very excellent little fighter.

Fair point. Got caught up in the excitement there. 👍

Honestly, i take my eyes off this for a couple of days and Iris does something amazing (well, something else amazing) and we all start throwing tenners in. Great stuff one and all.

P.S. I notice Iris wasn't worried by the deliberate wheel grabber doorstop in her way - she's got those extreme sports instincts already. Future olympian!

That genuinely brought a tear to my eyes.

Just seen this, it was very moving reading through the thread. With all the crap in the news, it's good to see the humanity.  I've stuck a little something in the pot.  Good luck with everything Andy.
